Cross-Citation with Related Application(s) This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0035553 dated March 22, 2022, and all contents disclosed in the documents of said Korean patent application are incorporated herein by reference.
本発明は、結晶化半減期に優れたポリラクチド樹脂組成物およびその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a polylactide resin composition having an excellent crystallization half-life and a method for producing the same.
ポリラクチド(または、ポリ乳酸;PLA)樹脂は、バイオ原料をベースとして製造されるものであり、製造過程で地球温暖化ガスである二酸化炭素の排出が少なく、また特定の温度と堆肥化設備により分解される特徴を有するエコ素材である。また、最近は、廃プラスチックの使用および炭素排出規制に対する対応案として既存の原油ベースの樹脂を代替できる素材の中の一つとして注目されている。 Polylactide (or polylactic acid; PLA) resin is manufactured from bio-based raw materials, and is an eco-friendly material that emits little carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, during the manufacturing process and decomposes at specific temperatures in composting equipment. Recently, it has also been attracting attention as one of the materials that can replace existing crude oil-based resins as a response to the use of waste plastics and carbon emission regulations.
また、ポリラクチド樹脂は、他の生分解性高分子に比べて安価であり、高い引張強度とモジュラス特性を有しているという長所がある。 Polylactide resin also has the advantage of being cheaper than other biodegradable polymers and having high tensile strength and modulus properties.
しかし、ポリラクチド樹脂は、リジッドな(rigid)高分子主鎖が短い単位で繰り返され、遅い連鎖(chain)移動性により結晶化速度が遅いため成形サイクルが長く、そのために生産性が落ちるという問題点がある。したがって、このような問題点を改善するために、核剤のような物質を導入して生産性と耐熱性を改善させるための研究が多く行われている。 However, polylactide resin has a problem in that the rigid polymer backbone is repeated in short units and the crystallization speed is slow due to slow chain mobility, resulting in a long molding cycle and low productivity. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, much research is being conducted to improve productivity and heat resistance by introducing substances such as nucleating agents.
一般的に、前記核剤として使用される物質は、主に無機系核剤であり、タルク(Talc)、マイカ(Mica)、ナノクレイ(nanoclay)のような物質が使用され、これをPLAの成形時に一部を添加して耐熱性と強度を改善することができることが報告されている。しかし、このような核剤を過量で添加すると樹脂比重の増加と透明性が落ちるという問題がある。一方、結晶性と透明性を向上させる物質としてLAK301(aromatic sulfonate drivate)、安息香酸ナトリウム(sodium benzoate)、 N-アミノフタルイミド(N-aminophthalimide)、フタルヒドラジド(phthalhydrazide)、フェニルマロン酸カドミウム(cadmium phenylmalonate)などのような有機系核剤が使用されている。しかし、このような物質は、バイオベースの物質でなく、PLA樹脂と分散の問題が存在する。 Generally, the materials used as the nucleating agent are mainly inorganic nucleating agents such as talc, mica, and nanoclay, and it has been reported that adding some of these nucleating agents during molding of PLA can improve heat resistance and strength. However, adding an excessive amount of such nucleating agents increases the resin specific gravity and reduces transparency. Meanwhile, organic nucleating agents such as LAK301 (aromatic sulfonate drivate), sodium benzoate, N-aminophthalimide, phthalhydrazide, and cadmium phenylmalonate are used as materials for improving crystallinity and transparency. However, such materials are not bio-based and have dispersion issues with PLA resins.
したがって、エコ製品として製造することができ、同時に透明性を阻害しないバイオベースの有機系核剤を導入する必要がある。また、ポリラクチド樹脂と分散の問題が少ない核剤を導入してポリラクチド樹脂の結晶化半減期および結晶化度を追加的に改善することが必要である。 Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a bio-based organic nucleating agent that can be manufactured as an eco-product and at the same time does not impair transparency. It is also necessary to introduce a nucleating agent that has fewer dispersion problems with polylactide resin to additionally improve the crystallization half-life and crystallinity of polylactide resin.
本発明は、特定の核剤を組み合わせて使用して結晶化半減期に優れたポリラクチド樹脂組成物を提供するものである。 The present invention provides a polylactide resin composition with excellent crystallization half-life by using a combination of specific nucleating agents.
また、本発明は、前記ポリラクチド樹脂組成物の製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention also relates to a method for producing the polylactide resin composition.
前記課題を解決するために、本発明は、下記のポリラクチド樹脂組成物を提供する。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following polylactide resin composition.
ポリラクチド樹脂;第1核剤;および第2核剤を含む、ポリラクチド樹脂組成物において、
前記ポリラクチド樹脂組成物は、100~130℃の結晶化温度で結晶化半減期が2分以下である、
ポリラクチド樹脂組成物。
A polylactide resin composition comprising: a polylactide resin; a first nucleating agent; and a second nucleating agent,
The polylactide resin composition has a crystallization half-life of 2 minutes or less at a crystallization temperature of 100 to 130°C.
Polylactide resin composition.
本発明で使用する用語「ポリラクチド樹脂」とは、下記の繰り返し単位を含む単一重合体または共重合体を包括して称するものと定義される。
前記ポリラクチド樹脂は、ラクチド単量体の開環重合により前記繰り返し単位を形成する段階を含んで製造され得、このような開環重合および前記繰り返し単位の形成工程が完了した後の重合体を前記「ポリラクチド樹脂」と称することができる。 The polylactide resin can be produced by a process that includes forming the repeating units by ring-opening polymerization of lactide monomers, and the polymer obtained after the ring-opening polymerization and the process of forming the repeating units are completed can be called the "polylactide resin."
この時、「ラクチド単量体」は、次のとおり定義され得る。通常、ラクチドは、L-乳酸からなるL-ラクチド、D-乳酸からなるD-ラクチド、L-形態とD-形態がそれぞれ一つずつからなるmesoラクチドに区分され得る。また、L-ラクチドとD-ラクチドが50:50で混合されているものをD、L-ラクチドまたはrac-ラクチドという。これらラクチドのうち、光学的純度が高いL-ラクチドまたはD-ラクチドのみを利用して重合を行う場合、立体規則性が非常に高いL-またはD-ポリラクチド(PLLAまたはPDLA)が得られると知られており、このようなポリラクチドは、光学的純度が低いポリラクチドに比べて結晶化速度が速く、結晶化度も高いと知られている。ただし、本明細書で「ラクチド単量体」とは、各形態によるラクチドの特性の違いおよびこれから形成されたポリラクチド樹脂の特性の違いに関係なく全ての形態のラクチドを含むものと定義される。 In this case, the term "lactide monomer" can be defined as follows. Lactide can be generally classified into L-lactide consisting of L-lactic acid, D-lactide consisting of D-lactic acid, and meso-lactide consisting of one L-form and one D-form. A 50:50 mixture of L-lactide and D-lactide is called D,L-lactide or rac-lactide. It is known that when polymerization is carried out using only L-lactide or D-lactide having high optical purity among these lactides, L- or D-polylactide (PLLA or PDLA) with very high stereoregularity can be obtained, and such polylactide is known to have a faster crystallization rate and a higher degree of crystallization than polylactide having low optical purity. However, in this specification, "lactide monomer" is defined to include all forms of lactide, regardless of the differences in the properties of lactide according to each form and the differences in the properties of polylactide resins formed therefrom.
一方、本発明によるポリラクチド樹脂は、一例として重量平均分子量が70,000~400,000である。 On the other hand, the polylactide resin according to the present invention has, for example, a weight average molecular weight of 70,000 to 400,000.
本発明は、このようなポリラクチド樹脂に前記第1核剤と第2核剤を共に使用することによって、ポリラクチド樹脂の結晶化半減期を改善することを特徴とする。 The present invention is characterized in that the crystallization half-life of such a polylactide resin is improved by using both the first nucleating agent and the second nucleating agent in the polylactide resin.
特に、前記ポリラクチド樹脂組成物は、100~130℃の結晶化温度で結晶化半減期が5分以下であることを特徴とする。好ましくは、前記結晶化半減期が1.9分以下、1.8分以下、1.7分以下、1.6分以下、1.5分以下、1.4分以下、1.3分以下、1.2分以下、1.1分以下、または、1.0分以下である。また、前記結晶化半減期は、0.1分以上、0.2分以上、0.3分以上、0.4分以上、または、0.5分以上である。 In particular, the polylactide resin composition is characterized in that it has a crystallization half-life of 5 minutes or less at a crystallization temperature of 100 to 130°C. Preferably, the crystallization half-life is 1.9 minutes or less, 1.8 minutes or less, 1.7 minutes or less, 1.6 minutes or less, 1.5 minutes or less, 1.4 minutes or less, 1.3 minutes or less, 1.2 minutes or less, 1.1 minutes or less, or 1.0 minutes or less. In addition, the crystallization half-life is 0.1 minutes or more, 0.2 minutes or more, 0.3 minutes or more, 0.4 minutes or more, or 0.5 minutes or more.
本発明で使用する用語「結晶化半減期(Crystallization half-time(t1/2))は、結晶化が50%行われるまでかかる時間(分)を意味し、相対的な結晶化速度を評価するに有用な指標である。結晶化半減期を求めるためには、まず相対結晶化度(Relative crystallinity)を求める。相対結晶化度は、等温結晶化過程での時間に応じた発熱ピークで全体面積(area)に対する時間tが過ぎた時の面積(area)の比率を意味し、時間に応じた相対結晶化度に変換後に相対結晶化度が0.5になる時の時間を結晶化半減期として求めることができる。このような過程を図1に図式的に示し、より詳細な測定方法は後述する実施例で具体化することができる。 The term "crystallization half-time (t 1/2 )" used in the present invention means the time (minutes) required for 50% crystallization to occur, and is a useful index for evaluating the relative crystallization rate. In order to determine the crystallization half-life, first, the relative crystallinity is determined. The relative crystallinity means the ratio of the area at the time t to the total area at the exothermic peak as a function of time during isothermal crystallization, and the time when the relative crystallinity becomes 0.5 after conversion to the relative crystallinity as a function of time can be determined as the crystallization half-life. This process is diagrammatically shown in FIG. 1, and a more detailed measurement method can be embodied in the examples described below.
本発明で使用する用語「結晶化温度」とは、前記結晶化半減期を測定するためにポリラクチド樹脂を所定の温度に溶融させた後に冷却する時の温度を意味する。例えば、ポリラクチド樹脂を200℃に溶融させた後、40℃/min~100℃/minの冷却速度で120℃まで冷却する時、前記120℃を「結晶化温度」という。本発明では前記結晶化温度は、100~130℃であり、一例として100℃、110℃、120℃、または、130℃である。前記結晶化温度による結晶化半減期の具体的な測定方法は以下の実施例に具体化することができる。 The term "crystallization temperature" used in the present invention means the temperature at which polylactide resin is cooled after melting it to a predetermined temperature in order to measure the crystallization half-life. For example, when polylactide resin is melted at 200°C and then cooled to 120°C at a cooling rate of 40°C/min to 100°C/min, the 120°C is called the "crystallization temperature". In the present invention, the crystallization temperature is 100 to 130°C, and examples include 100°C, 110°C, 120°C, or 130°C. A specific method for measuring the crystallization half-life according to the crystallization temperature can be embodied in the following examples.
好ましくは、本発明による前記ポリラクチド樹脂組成物は、100~130℃の結晶化温度で結晶化度が35%以上である。先に説明したとおり、本発明による前記ポリラクチド樹脂組成物は、結晶化半減期はもちろん、結晶化度も優れるという特徴がある。好ましくは、前記結晶化度が40%以上、45%以上、または、50%以上である。前記結晶化度の測定方法は以下の実施例に具体化することができる。 Preferably, the polylactide resin composition according to the present invention has a degree of crystallinity of 35% or more at a crystallization temperature of 100 to 130°C. As explained above, the polylactide resin composition according to the present invention is characterized by an excellent degree of crystallinity as well as a crystallization half-life. Preferably, the degree of crystallinity is 40% or more, 45% or more, or 50% or more. The method for measuring the degree of crystallinity can be embodied in the following examples.
一方、前記第1核剤は、ウラシル(uracil)である。前記第1核剤は、バイオベースの有機系物質であって、ポリラクチド樹脂に添加されて核生成部位(nucleation site)として作用して高い温度で結晶核生成を誘発して結晶化半減期および結晶化度を改善することができる。 Meanwhile, the first nucleating agent is uracil. The first nucleating agent is a bio-based organic material that is added to the polylactide resin and acts as a nucleation site to induce crystal nucleation at high temperatures, thereby improving the crystallization half-life and degree of crystallization.
好ましくは、前記第1核剤は、前記ポリラクチド樹脂組成物総重量に対して0.1~5重量%で含まれる。前記含有量が0.1重量%未満である場合には前記第1核剤の使用効果が微々であり、前記含有量が5重量%を超える場合にはポリラクチド樹脂固有の物性を阻害する恐れがある。より好ましくは、前記第1核剤は、前記ポリラクチド樹脂組成物総重量に対して0.2重量%以上、0.3重量%以上、0.4重量%以上、または、0.5重量%以上であり;4.5重量%以下、4.0重量%以下、または、3.5重量%以下含まれる。 Preferably, the first nucleating agent is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 5 wt % based on the total weight of the polylactide resin composition. If the content is less than 0.1 wt %, the effect of using the first nucleating agent is negligible, and if the content is more than 5 wt %, there is a risk of impairing the inherent physical properties of the polylactide resin. More preferably, the first nucleating agent is contained in an amount of 0.2 wt % or more, 0.3 wt % or more, 0.4 wt % or more, or 0.5 wt % or more based on the total weight of the polylactide resin composition; or 4.5 wt % or less, 4.0 wt % or less, or 3.5 wt % or less.
前記第2核剤は、ラクチド単量体のオリゴマー構造を含む核剤であって、このようなラクチド単量体のオリゴマー構造によりポリラクチド樹脂と相溶性が高いため、ポリラクチド樹脂に添加されて可塑剤と類似する役割を果たすようになる。そのためにポリラクチド樹脂内で自由体積(free volume)を形成してポリラクチド樹脂の連鎖(chain)移動性を向上させて結晶化半減期および結晶化度を改善することができる。 The second nucleating agent is a nucleating agent containing an oligomer structure of lactide monomer. Due to this oligomer structure of lactide monomer, it has high compatibility with polylactide resin and is added to polylactide resin to play a role similar to that of a plasticizer. Therefore, it can form free volume in the polylactide resin to improve the chain mobility of the polylactide resin and improve the crystallization half-life and degree of crystallization.

Production Example: Second nucleating agent (production of P10-A-002)
An oligomer was prepared using PEG-1000 (P10) as an initiator. Specifically, lactide:P10 was placed in a 20 mL vial in a total amount of 4.5 g with a molar ratio of 8:1, and Sn(Oct) 2 catalyst was added to the mixture in an amount of 0.1-0.2 wt%, and the mixture was reacted at 130°C for 4 hours. The temperature was then adjusted to 120°C, and acetic anhydride (4 equivalents relative to the terminal OH group) was added, and the reaction was continued for an additional 12 hours. After the reaction was completed, the by-product acetic acid and residual acetic anhydride were removed by vacuum drying to prepare a second nucleating agent having a structure in which the terminal group was substituted with an acetyl group. This was named P10-A-002, and its weight average molecular weight is shown in Table 1 below.

Each of the PLA resins prepared in the examples and comparative examples was completely melted at 200°C for 20 minutes in the first heating to remove thermal history. Then, it was cooled as rapidly as possible to each crystallization temperature (100-130°C) at 100°C/min, and the heat flow was observed while maintaining the temperature at each crystallization temperature to measure the crystallization half-life. The degree of crystallinity Xc was calculated using the following formula (100% crystalline PLA ΔHm=93 J/g).
